Paint Stripping Question....

Any strong alcalyne will do... Strong kitchen degreasers, KOH, NaOH etc. will not hurt plastic at all but remove any paint in hours. Just wear gloves and don't inhale stuff. Do not use brake fluid, unless you want cancer :-)

Pinesol will take the paint off in a few hours to a day. Just keep an eye on the plastic if it is "soft" and you're woried about it.Simple green is the safer way if you have the time. It takes a few days to get any effect, but can be kept in it for weeks if not months. Also keep in mind simple green won't really take off the primer with out a lot of work.

Simple Green I've already tried on the model (a revoltech toy) to no effect (which is a shame, b/c it usually works like gangbusters); it seems they've used robust enamel. I may give the Surgical Spirit or kitchen degreasers a try.
